I can see a potential problem with this design though, if the weight of the piece of gear you're using these on is not evenly distributed. I think that applies to almost all turntables (and so many other pieces of gear). You certainly don't want to trade-off/substitute a level turntable over more isolation.

OP, Great catch. Great deal.
I am not sure I have this brand, but while I have a very high end SRA isolation platform under my turntable. I put this general kind of springs under all of my other components. They, even at $30 for 4 are a screaming deal… let alone $11!
you adjust for the load by removing some of the springs. I have actually left one spring for a really light component on my headphone system. I was pretty shocked it worked. You want each of the units to compress around half way or less. So, some experimentation is required.
My plan is to use these until I can afford a sophisticated solution. They did make a positive impact on every thing I put them under… amp, preamp… etc. |
@ghdprentice agreed…same experience here. I use 1 spring on my lighter components. On my amp, I use 1 spring in front and three on the back where more weight resides to balance the compression with good results.

@tweak1 if you don’t mind what did you move up to and to what degree of improvement did you gain? |
